I really appreciate all the kind words of support, sometimes it feels like I only see negative feedback and while I usually take that in good stride and strive to resolve the underlying issues...
I am only human, and sometimes that negative feedback stings more than usual
Rather than letting it get to my head, publicly acknowledging this, and my struggles, are my therapy
Your encouragement means the world to me and keeps me motivated!
Thank you for believing in me and the @pixelfed app
@dansup You are doing PHENOMENAL work! I'm in awe of you and @cheeaun, building incredible platforms as solo developers.
When I think of the gargantuan budgets and large teams employed by Big Tech... who rarely ship product updates or create derivative things... in contrast to you making @pixelfed@loops and @cheeaun making @phanpy – I'm just filled with so much admiration and inspiration.
Thank you for empowering us with your mighty creations - and let us know how we can support you
I had a pretty rough day and contemplated just giving up on @pixelfed because it seems like I can’t catch a break
But after calming down, I started to remember all the big milestones and the people who believe in our platform and in me
I’m not ready to give up, in fact this was the kick in the ass I needed to get my priorities straight and focus on shipping the app ASAP and also Groups
I’m a few months behind on my NLnet Groups milestone and need the money so that’s my focus after the app
